PAX A8700 Dual-Facing Countertop
The PAX A8700 is built around a dual-display setup: one screen faces the customer, one faces the merchant, so both sides of a transaction can see what's happening without turning a single screen back and forth. That's a small detail that matters in practice: customers can watch their total and confirm a tip or signature directly, without a staff member having to hand over or reorient the device.
It's a countertop unit, meant for businesses with a fixed checkout point rather than one that moves around the floor. Processing is high-speed, aimed at keeping transactions quick during busy stretches, and the integrated card reader covers EMV chip and NFC contactless payments. It also connects to an external thermal printer for receipts, so it fits into a setup that already has printing hardware in place.
At $75, it's priced in line with PAX's other mid-tier terminals, positioned for a fixed counter rather than mobile use.
